Did You Inspect my property?

As
this is a mass valuation, the Municipal Valuer uses a computer aided mass
appraisal (CAMA) system to determine the values of all properties. This is
based on statistical analysis and geographical information systems (GIS), and
therefore requires reliable and accurate data.

For residential property, obtaining access to all properties is not possible,
and as such, the Municipal Valuer makes use of advanced technology that allows
the collection of data. This includes the use of building plans and Pictometry,
which is the state of the art 3D aerial photography that allows the valuers to
see the properties from all angles, and be able to measure the extents and
heights of the
buildings, as well as other information relating to quality, condition and
other improvements. This is augmented by the use of street level video footage
which is collected by driving down each street and recording the street
frontages. This method is acceptable in terms of the MPRA, and endorsed by the
International Association of Assessing Officers (IAAO) the international body
that sets
standards to mass appraisal importantly endorses more.

However, in cases where the aerial photography and other imagery is not
useable, usually in the cases where properties have a lot of foliage, or high
security walls, then physical inspection of the site is undertaken.

The data collection process is independently reviewed for quality assurance
purposes to ensure the data collectors are consistent in their approach and the
data they record is correct for the subject property.

For non-residential properties, field visits are undertaken to obtain data such
as the property use, rentals and financial records of businesses.
